Hi!

Why is this not populationg the fiedls with images? The XML is well formatted (I tested)

myThumb has a Loader called myPicMC, where the pics are supposed to load. I supposed the proble is with the code in [COLOR=Blue] **bold blue**.[/COLOR]

Thanks!!

```auto
function loadXML(loaded) {
    if (loaded) {
        myNode = this.firstChild;
        image = [];
        description = [];
        total = myNode.childNodes.length;
        for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
            image* = myNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
            description* = myNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
        }
        createMovie();
    }
    else {
        content = "file not loaded!";
    }
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("images.xml");
////////////
this.attachMovie("thumbMC", "myThumb", getNextHighestDepth());
for (i=1; i<6; i++) {
    myThumb.duplicateMovieClip("myThumb"+i, i, {_x:0, _y:(130*i)});
}
////////////
[COLOR=Blue]**
function createMovie() {
    this.attachMovie("thumbMC", "myThumb", getNextHighestDepth());
    for (j=0; j<total; j++) {
        trace("J :"+j);
        myThumb.duplicateMovieClip("myThumb"+j, j, {_x:0, _y:(130*j)});
    }
    firstImage();
}
function firstImage() {
    for (p=0; p<total; p++) {
        myThumb[p].mypicMC.contentPath = image[p];
        myThumb.descriptionTXT.text = description[p];
        //trace(p);
        trace(image[p]);
    }
}**[/COLOR]
